Teddy Bridgewater will get most first-team reps, Baker Mayfield could still play

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to potentially start against the Arizona Cardinals, as announced by head coach Todd Bowles. Bridgewater will receive the majority of first-team practice reps this week. This decision comes after Bridgewater played the second half of the Buccaneers' Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams, following an injury to starting quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is dealing with a left shoulder sprain and remains sore, with his status to be evaluated throughout the week. Despite frequent injury listings, Mayfield has started every game for the Buccaneers in his tenure with the team. A final decision on the starting quarterback will be made closer to the game.
